This book is designed to help students organize their thinking about psychology at a conceptual level. The focus on behaviour and empiricism has produced a text that is better organized, has fewer chapters, and is somewhat shorter than many of the leading books. The beginning of each section includes learning objectives; throughout the body of each section are key terms in bold followed by their definitions in italics; key takeaways, and exercises and critical thinking activities end each section.
This version of the main text breaks down the chapters into shorter modules, for more accessibility. The smaller chunks allow students to better grasp and explore psychological concepts. The modules also allow more flexibility in teaching, as cross-references to other chapters have been replaced with brief explanations.
